Delicious madness indeed!

Do tell Miss Baker, would one be able to make either if those crackers with almond flour?

That is a very good question. I've not baked with almond flour before but I did a bit of tripping around google and found this.

Almond flour works very well for practically all cake and muffin recipes, pancakes and some cookie recipes, too. It can also be used to make tart shells for sweet or savory dishes. The only types of dessert that do not lend themselves well to the use of almond flour are yeast bread or other non-quick bread recipes.

To convert any regular baked recipes to low-carb using almond flour, experiment by simply replacing the volume of flour in the recipe with the same volume of almond flour. Use slightly more rising agent than the recipe suggests to allow for the heavier weight of the almond flour.

The first cracker uses the smallest amount (1/4 tsp) of baking powder - the "puff" is more a factor of the butter creating flakiness. The second cracker is completely unleavened. So I don't see why you couldn't for both. Now if you only use almond flour instead of a combination of AP and whole wheat you will lose the rustic look of the wheat color but I am betting the almond flour would create an interesting flavor.

If you try it, you'll have to let me know. I can send you the recipes if you want - so you can play with them.

My mother makes a cheese wafer similar to this, but without nuts. She slices them very thin so that they are extra crispy.

Mine did, too. Flour, cheese, butter, a pinch of cayenne. No egg in her recipe. Now I make them. She used to top them with pecans, but I don't care for pecans, so I leave those off.

Mom will use no cheese but Cabot Seriously Sharp.

I don't know if I've even seen that one. We do get Cabot here, so I'll look for it. Mom always used extra sharp cheddar. Probably whatever was on sale. Of course, for the longest time, Kraft or store brand were basically the only options in block cheese.

Wow. I think it might pay to be adrina's friend...

I will try my hand at it. Thank you, Adrina.

One damn fine pizza.

Oh I don't know. Coolwhip and instant pudding?? That's some scary stuff. Better living through chemistry, my fanny.

It's quite fluffy.

Yes I imagine it is ... Hahaha... I'm still scared of it.

I felt like making a chocolate cake. Sure the guys at work are going to get most of it, but I still felt like making it.

I tried something new. Voided circles of powdered sugar and cocoa powder. I didn't do it quite right, but practice makes perfect. It's still pretty artsy fartsy and looks pretty cool. I don't think I'll complain when I go to have a piece for dessert tonight.

Fear of fanny?

It is very pretty. I noticed you had a change of av. . You have rights to be proud of your handiwork.

Indeed, there is.

That might be pretty tasty. Especially with the ham.

It's beautiful, even more so knowing it's homemade from things found on your land.

It's nice to see you posting too.

the benefits of living in the country, though i always made my own back in suburbia where i grew plenty of things on a handkerchief-sized garden

yeah, good to see some of the decent people still around - had to stick the alt-explosion on ignore first to even find the non-rabid threads! anyway, it's a case of dropping in to say a pre-xmas hello!
